to Northamptonshire
Welcome to the Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Website
Important Information about The Gondoliers
We are all thrilled to announce that following considerable upheaval and multiple postponements, The Gondoliers will return to the stage from Monday 25th April 2022
Introduction
Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Group has been entertaining audiences for over 60 years.
On 6th October 2013 we reached our Diamond Anniversary and celebrated in style on stage in the Royal Auditorium with a Gala Concert followed by our hugely successful 60th production H.M.S. Pinafore.
Performances
We produce one major production per year, staged in the Royal Auditorium, Northampton, and we are delighted to announce that our next foray into the the 'Topsy-Turvy' world of Gilbert & Sullivan will be to Venice and The Gondoliers, from the 30th March to 4th April 2020.
We are just about to start rehearsals for this production and are always delighted to welcome anyone who would like join us on stage. For more information please contact us using the contact us page, link below.
General Auditions
We ask everyone who wishes to join the group to audition.
This process gives us the opportunity to listen to each person sing and ensure we have the right voices in each part.
To make the process as painless as possible, join us for a rehearsal and you can audition at the end.
We are currently looking for new members to join us for our next production.

Our Approach
We have a traditional approach to staging our shows.
We rehearse weekly, normally starting music rehearsals in April or May, breaking for the summer and then returning in September to production rehearsals.
We think this approach gives a family feel to the group and enables focused rehearsals allowing all of our cast to develop their character and skills, which we think pays off in our performances.
We are thrilled to be able perform in The Royal Auditorium and hope to see you soon at our show.
